**THIS ASSIGNMENT HAS THREE (3) SEPARATE QUESTIONS**

QUESTION 1:

Each discussion is meant to be a collaborative space for conversation in which to process the concepts within the course. To ensure an interesting and respectful discussion, you are encouraged to think creatively about your initial posts and build upon the points made by your peers. Discussing challenges that face our world often means investigating opinions and ideas different from your own. Remember to remain thoughtful and respectful towards your peers and instructor in your discussion post and replies, as discussed in the Module One Overview. It is also important to review the module resources and read the prompts in their entirety before participating in the discussion.

By this point in the course, you have discussed topics related to three of the four general education interdisciplinary lenses. Discuss how you could analyze one of the topics from these previous discussions using the social science lens.

Create one initial post and follow up with at least two response posts.

For your initial post, address the following:

  1. Select one topic that you wrote about in a previous discussion that you are interested in examining using the social science lens. These topics include:
    1. 16th and 17th Century Scottish Witch Trials (history lens)
    2. A cultural expression from a subculture you identify with (humanities lens)
    3. A scientific research question (natural and applied sciences lens)
  2. Explain how you might analyze or think about that topic from the perspective of the social science lens.
    1. What types of demographical or statistical information might be significant to your analysis of the topic?
    2. What social structures, institutions, or systems might impact the topic?
    3. How is your analysis of the topic expanded or strengthened by using more than one lenS
    QUESTION 2:

    Overview

    In this activity, you will have the opportunity to examine how using critical analysis tools influences your interactions with others and your understanding of the role of diversity in society. You will also consider how the analysis of your topic might have turned out differently if you looked at it through a different lens. Completing this activity will result in a draft of the reflection section of your project. It also provides an opportunity to obtain valuable feedback from your instructor that you can incorporate into your project submission.

    Directions

    In this activity, you will work on the second part of the reflection section of your project. You should consider the feedback from your instructor on the previous activity and use your responses to inform this assignment. Include diverse perspectives from varied sources to support your points. Look to the SNHU Shapiro Library for assistance and consider the sources you have used thus far to support the critical analysis of your topic. First, you will explain how the analysis of your topic in diversity may have been different if you had used one of the other general education lenses. Next, you will explain how critically analyzing diversity positively affects your interactions with people. Finally, you will describe how this course has impacted your understanding of the role of diversity in society.You are not required to answer each question below the rubric criteria but may use them to better understand the criteria and guide your thinking.Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
  3. Integrate reliable evidence from varied sources throughout your paper to support your analysis.
    1. It is important to draw from a more diverse pool of perspectives from varied sources to support the analysis. This is different from the Citations and Attributions rubric criterion.
    2. Reliable evidence from varied sources should be interwoven throughout the paper itself, while citing and attributing sources will be represented as APA in-text citations and a reference list at the end of your work.
    3. You will be evaluated on both criteria.
  4. Explain at least one way in which your analysis might have been different if you had used one of the other general education lenses to analyze your topic.
    1. This should be a brief (3–5 sentences) reflection about how using the language and perspective from a different lens would shift your view of your topic.
  5. Explain how critically analyzing diversity adds value to interactions with people in a variety of contexts.
    1. Think about ways in which individual conversations are strengthened by a greater awareness of diversity. Consider including an example from your life.
  6. Describe how this course has helped you understand the role of diversity in society.
    1. Consider how having a better understanding of concepts such as bias, intersectionality, culture, and identity contributes to your perceptions of diversity in society. Also, how might your critical analysis skills impact how you approach topics of diversity?

What to Submit

Submit your short paper as a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to APA style. Consult the Shapiro Library APA Style Guide for more information on citations.

QUESTION 3:

n this discussion, we will explore the APA’s ethical principles and consider the importance of adhering to them in practice. Make sure to review the “General Principles” section of the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct resource before you post your initial response. When you describe ideas that are not your own, be sure to paraphrase and not use direct quotations.

Address the following in your initial post: Which of the general principles do you consider most important? Why? What are some potential consequences that could occur if they aren’t followed?
